Ted Baxter: "North Korea... wants to influence November election"

[Wetzelbill]

O'Reilly: Like Iran, "the reason North Korea is causing trouble is that it wants to influence the November election"

On the October 9 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly claimed that "the reason North Korea is causing trouble" by allegedly developing and testing nuclear weapons "is that it wants to influence the November election." He added: "That is not a partisan statement. It is a fact," then concluded that North Korea "hate(s) Mr. Bush and want(s) to weaken him as much as possible."

As Media Matters for America has previously noted and as O'Reilly himself referenced, on the October 6 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly warned that "powerful forces want to influence your vote," and baselessly asserted that "Iran has ordered its killers to up the violence in Iraq for the next month" so that "Americans will hold President Bush responsible and vote in the Democrats, who the Iranians believe are not as aggressive in foreign policy."

1. Memo to Mr. O'Reilly: the Democrats don't need NK's or Iran's help

The Democrats don't need North Korea's or Iran's help to take control of both houses of Congress next month.

The Bush regime and the congressional Republicans are providing all the assistance needed.

3. Why Is Stuff Crossed Out??

Did you use the correct HTML tags????

7. That's an accidental DU HTML tag in the quoted material.

He added: "That is not a partisan statement. It is a fact," then concluded that North Korea "hate[s] Mr. Bush and want[s] to weaken him as much as possible."

The [s] is DU's HTML code for strike through text. When quoting sources that use brackets, they should be replaced with parenthesis - otherwise the information inside the brackets will disappear, or possibly cause unintended HTML. The above excerpt should be changed to:

He added: "That is not a partisan statement. It is a fact," then concluded that North Korea "hate(s) Mr. Bush and want(s) to weaken him as much as possible."

4. Bush is the totalitarianists' best friend.

Of course Kim Jong Il is trying to influence our political process. As long as there are hard-liners in the US government, he and other hard-liners around the world can flourish.

5. Fact? According to who? Does he cite sources?

8. Second note to Mr. O'Reilly

(T)he reason North Korea is causing trouble . . .is that it wants to influence the November election . . . . That is not a partisan statement. It is a fact . . . .

Not a partisan statement but a fact? Horsepucky.
